Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
Different experiences I suppose. Used Contabo to host an ansible setup of Lemmy, never had a single outage for 6 months.
It’s down to luck. I’ve had two different DB contabo server hit by outages. I once had about 8 VMs going down together. If you’ve managed to avoid it, great. But it’s a matter of time.
